Leeds chairman Ken Bates in collision course with Sky

Bates wants action after insisting the £100,000 poured into the club coffers by Sky for live broadcasts at Elland Road do not make up for the consequent loss in income in other areas when Leeds are on television.

The former Chelsea chairman spoke out after Sky covered their 4-0 defeat by Cardiff on Monday night and revealed that he had already had talks with the broadcaster over their plans for the rest of the season.
